=====================

* Use readline in wscat [tricknotes]

* Extensive WebSocket / WebSocketServer cleanup, including changing all internal properties to unconfigurable, unenumerable properties [einaros]
* Receiver modifications to ensure even better performance with fragmented sends [einaros]
* Fixed issue in sender.js, which would cause SlowBuffer instances (such as returned from the crypto library's randomBytes) to be copied (and thus be dead slow) [einaros]
* Removed redundant buffer copy in sender.js, which should improve server performance [einaros]

v0.3.7 - Dec 25nd 2011
======================

* Added a browser based API which uses EventEmitters internally [3rd-Eden]
* Expose request information from upgrade event for websocket server clients [mmalecki]

* Code cleanups in Sender and Receiver, to ensure even faster parsing [einaros]

v0.3.5 - Dec 13th 2011
======================

* Optimized Sender.js, Receiver.js and bufferutil.cc:

======================

* Node.js v0.4.x compatibility.

* WebSocket server added, although this will still mainly be a client library.
* WebSocket server certified to pass the Autobahn test suite.
* Protocol improvements and corrections - such as handling (redundant) masks for empty fragments.
* 'wscat' command line utility added, which can act as either client or server.

v0.2.6 - Dec 3rd 2011
======================

* Renamed to 'ws'. Big woop, right -- but easy-websocket really just doesn't cut it anymore!

v0.2.5 - Dec 3rd 2011
======================

  * Rewrote much of the WebSocket parser, to ensure high speed for highly fragmented messages.
  * Added a BufferPool, as a start to more efficiently deal with allocations for WebSocket connections. More work to come, in that area.

v0.1.2 - Nov 14th 2011
======================

  * Back and forth, back and forth: now settled on keeping the api (event names, methods) closer to the websocket browser api. This will stick now.
  * Started keeping this history record. Better late than never, right?
